Budget Hotels at Montreal Airport
Four of the six hotels run free shuttles. Higher rates buy a shorter transfer, and the highest rate, at the Marriott, buys a direct connection to the terminal.
The cheapest hotel
The Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Montreal Airport is the cheapest of the six. It is 0.5 km from the terminal with a free 24-hour shuttle, near Dorval station, and the rate includes a hot breakfast buffet from 6:00 am on weekdays and 6:30 am at weekends.
Mid-range hotels
- Aloft Montreal Airport: one kilometre out, free shuttle, heated indoor pool, a free gym and a 24-hour grab-and-go counter; parking $30 per day.
- DoubleTree By Hilton Montreal Airport: free shuttle every 30 minutes, heated indoor pool, and Dorval station a 5-minute walk away as listed by booking sites; parking $35 per day.
- Sheraton Montreal Airport Hotel: a 7-minute walk from the airport, a free shuttle every 30 minutes, a free gym, and parking at $30 per day.
- Novotel Montreal Aeroport: Executive rooms for up to four people and a wellness centre, 15 minutes away by road with no shuttle; add a taxi fare unless you drive.
What the higher price includes
The Marriott Montreal Airport In-Terminal Hotel costs more because it has no transfer: it is connected to the U.S. departures terminal, so you walk from your room to check-in and Checkpoint C. The time saved is largest before an early transborder departure; for a midday flight, the shuttle hotels, 0.5 to 2 km away, cost less.
Ways to save
For trips of a week or more by car, a park, sleep and fly package can cost less than booking parking separately. For a daytime layover, the Marriott sells a day pass for a room. For a seat and food only, a lounge entry ($42 per adult before tax at the Desjardins Odyssey lounges) may cost less than a room.

It can be for an evening arrival with a late departure: the 747 bus runs 24 hours and its $11.25 fare is a 24-hour pass. For an early flight, the bus takes 45 to 70 minutes and airlines ask transborder passengers to arrive up to three hours ahead for U.S. preclearance.
